Prayer Request:
Assalamualaikum,
Please forgive me for my lack of manners in addressing. I am [private], a learning non-Muslim trying to understand and learning the ways of a Muslim and the Islamic faith. I’ve been introduced to Islam and Naqshbandi by a man that I have met and fell in love with, his name is [private].
I am of a different religion and race but have since found peace in the teachings of Islam. I’ve been reading the Quran slowly and also been looking up teachings and histories online via Naqshbandi webpage and also Eshaykh which brought me to this email.
Part of me is confused as to whether I am leaning towards the faith and believes because of love. [private] brought a lot of light into my life and have shown me that there is so much more to being a Muslim that I would have ever imagined. But I am worried that I might be blinded by love. How do I really know that I am ready for Islam and if Islam is ready for me?
At the same time, his parents does not approve of me because I am not a Muslim and I am not [private]. I know that it is not permissible for a Muslim man to marry a non-Muslim woman. I am still learning and will embrace Islam when I am truly ready. I want to be able to embrace the teachings wholeheartedly. His parents wants him to marry another Muslim woman and said that she is more suitable for him because of our differences. Is there a prayer that I as a Non-Muslim can say for a peace of mind and direction?
Your quick response and advice will help me greatly. I thank you in advance.
